Believe it or not, the way you practice today is going to have a direct result upon your results in the near future.
- Put in a solid, consistent and enthusiastic practice session each day, as much as possible - which your subconscious will record for your future races.
- Visualize regularly the exact result you want to achieve in your races, as this creates positive 'programs' within your mind for your body to follow.
- Make sure your thoughts, words and emotions are positive - 99% of the time, as the body is greatly affected by your emotional state.
This means that 'today' DOES affect what will happen tomorrow - and what you do today in practice will make a difference to your meets in a few week's time, so don't waste the opportunity you have right now, at this very moment. If you truly want positive results in future, create positive habits in your training that will echo throughout your meets in future. In essence, I am saying you must become the person (now) you wish to be (later). Don't wait and just hope it will happen, MAKE it happen - and this means you have to work with in the 'now' - and that means today's training session.
